Minnesota Distillery's New Bourbon Was Finished In A Port Barrel

New bourbons surfacing from craft whiskey outfits around the country in some cases need an extra “something” in order to get them noticed by drinkers and media. Crooked Water Spirits out of Minnesota is hoping its new port barrel finished bourbon that’s been going fast to eager buyers will prove to be that edge.

There isn’t much to say about the flavor profile of this bourbon from the material available from Crooked Point, but information from retailer Ace Spirits, which is one of those still with bottles in stock, indicates at least that the “grains are made up of corn, barley, wheat and rye. Mash bill is 75% corn, the other three grains make up the remaining 25%.”

Should you not be able to get hold of a bottle from the mostly sold out first batch, fear not, as apparently a planned second batch resting in a different barrel type, according once again to Mpls.St.Paul Magazine, will soon be on the way.
